1. Organization and Nature of Business

 

Augmedix, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” or “our”) was incorporated in 2013 and launched its commercial real-time, remote documentation services in 2014. Clinicians access our applications through mobile devices such as smartphones or Google Glass. Once accessed, the client application provides clinicians with a secure communication channel to the Augmedix Ambient Automation Platform (“AAP”). The AAP houses our note creation software and is overseen by our Medical Documentation Specialists (“MDSs”). Our proprietary Natural Language Processing (“NLP”) technology, with assistance from the MDS, identifies, classifies and extracts the relevant medical elements from the clinician patient interaction. These elements are used by our proprietary note creation tool “Notebuilder” to automatically generate the medical note, which, when completed, is uploaded into the patient’s chart contained within the Electronic Health Records System (“EHR system”). The EHR system is third-party software licensed by the healthcare clinic or system to manage patient charts.  

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception, including net losses of $5.9 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, as of March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $107.7 million. The Company has relied on debt and equity financing to fund operations to date and management expects losses and negative cash flows to continue, primarily as a result of continued research, development and marketing efforts. The Company believes its cash and restricted cash will provide sufficient resources to meet working capital needs for over twelve months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Over the longer term, if the Company does not generate sufficient revenue from new and existing products, additional debt or equity financing may be required along with a reduction in expenditures. Additionally, there is no assurance if the Company requires additional future financing, that such financing will be available on terms which are acceptable to the Company, or at all.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks associated with companies at a similar stage, including dependence on key individuals, competition from similar products and larger companies, volatility of the industry, ability to obtain adequate financing to support growth, the ability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel to manage the anticipated growth of the Company, and general economic conditions, including ongoing economic impacts from the conflict in Ukraine.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and the world. The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-pandemic on its business. We cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19, including its duration in the United States and worldwide, the effectiveness of governmental responses designed to mitigate strain to businesses and the economy and the magnitude of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic and preventative measures taken to contain or mitigate its spread have caused and are continuing to cause, business shutdowns, cancellations of events and travel, significant reductions in demand for certain goods and services, reductions in business activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability both globally and in the United States. Such effects will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain, and for some period thereafter. The Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted.

 

COVID-19 Update

 

The Company has been carefully monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the business and has taken important steps to help ensure the safety of the Company’s employees and to reduce the spread of COVID-19 community-wide. The Company is ensuring that essential staffing levels at the Company’s operations remain in place, including maintaining key personnel in the Company’s facilities. The Company has implemented stringent safety measures designed to create a safe and clean environment for the Company’s employees as the Company continues to comply with applicable federal, state and local guidelines instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
